The Kyabram District League A-grade reigning premier has built up a five-game winning streak ahead of its clash with the side that handed the Redlegs their last loss in round 10.

Tallygaroopna sits third on the ladder and is one win behind second-placed Dookie United.

A win next weekend over the Thunder will see Tallygaroopna snatch second spot and earn a rest in the first week of finals action.

The 68-32 triumph was Tallygaroopna’s 13th win of the campaign.

Meanwhile, Avenel has collected a huge scalp in its bid to play finals.

The Swans held on for a memorable 43-32 win on Sunday over fellow finals aspirant Violet Town.

The win, Avenel’s fourth win in a row, sees them leap above the Towners and into sixth spot on the ladder.

Avenel faces an early elimination final-like contest with a round 16 encounter against arch-rival Nagambie to decide its finals fate.

Elsewhere, Merrigum suffered a 62-31 defeat to Dookie United in a big blow to its finals hopes.

The Bulldogs must now achieve what no other side has done this season and defeat league leader Shepparton East.

Nagambie had a convincing 81-38 win over Murchison-Toolamba and Shepparton East defeated Lancaster by 24 goals.

Longwood claimed its second win of 2023 with a 43-38 win over Rushworth, while Stanhope must win its final match of the season if it is to feature in finals following the 49-40 defeat to Girgarre.
